A person, usually a teenage male, with minimal knowledge of computer systems that executes code (often called "exploits") or follows procedures created by more knowledgeable people to break into computer systems or commit "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against other people. These kids are often portrayed by the media and other non-technically savvy parties as being very intelligent and having tremendous technical knowledge despite the fact that very few of these so-called "hackers" can write their own computer programs (of any sort) or even possess even the most rudimentary technical understanding of the underlying systems that they are attacking or using (e.g., CPU architecture, network protocols, algorithms, etc). The wide-spread and trivial availability of these exploits/scripts for "hacking" and denial-of-service attacks allows these kids to cause serious problems from time-to-time and thus they get themselves into trouble way out of proportion to their skill set.
To leap to the assumption that one of these script kids has significant computer knowledge based on his ability to successfully execute exploits/scripts/DoS attacks created by other people is equivalent to assuming that the functionally-illiterate 14 year old that shoots a clerk at a convenience store must be a physics expert because he managed to fire a gun. It's point and clock--it's just that simple. To further torture this analogy, beyond these kids' lack of subject-matter knowledge, they often get themselves into trouble by being extraordinarily stupid and naive in their crimes, e.g., bragging, keeping evidence of their crimes, attacking the wrong people, getting themselves in the press, etc.

Get the script kidmug. A person (usually a n00b) that lives in a fantasy bullshit world, makes up lies about his non-existant social life, and he doesn't really notice how stupid & naive he is.

Get the bullshit kidmug. A legendary outlaw active in the west during the late 1800's. Pat Garrett claims to have gunned him down, but due to unreliable information, Billy the Kid's cause of death is unknown. Billy the Kid was known for once escaping jail in an almost impossible situation. He was also presumed by many to be one of the few outlaws that were left handed.

Get the fortnite kidmug. Creek Kids
Located in Boulder, CO, this lovely group of kids ranging from 8th graders to high school seniors have claimed the boulder creek area as their #1 spot to do every drug imaginable. They meet in the morning, during lunch, and after school, but many skip class and end up spending their whole day there.
Drugs they do: lotssss of weed, acid, shrooms, Molly, DMT, and more.
They are actually some of the most down to earth people you will ever meet, most coming from hard home lives/pasts.
To join creek, your usually invited down to morning spot by someone you know one time. Then that turns into a few more times until you start going there on your own.
Creek kids can get basically any drug at any time, and know the biggest plugs in boulder. Often misunderstood, never take a creek kid for granted

Get the Creek Kidsmug. "I don't think that burrito I had for lunch today is sitting well. I think I'm gonna have to head to the restroom and take Cosby's Kids for a swim."

Get the Cosby's Kidsmug. The scum of moon valley high school. If there was a social hierarchy they'd be below the pigeons. If you find yourself sitting by a tree surrounded by a bench, with a trench coat and a face caked with black makeup... you may be a tree kid. Typically, this can be treated with chemotherapy.
